I HEARD ABOUT THE WEDDING ALL THE WAY FROM Nos NUA.
On the little isle I’d begrudgingly called home for three moons now,
even the Druids I lived with rejoiced over the new Daemon King and his
recent nuptials. His first bride was unhinged, they said. She murdered the
Old King, they said. By the time we received the news last week—almost
two moons late—I wondered how it reached the remote parish, perched on
the northernmost tip of the isle, at all.
But one thing I knew for certain. The news traveled too quickly for my
taste.

I didn’t have a problem with my new home, per se. The Druids were as
gracious and welcoming as any. The problem was that my memories of the
Drumghouls’ fortress where we’d honeymooned also lived here. Though I
couldn’t recall its exact location, it hardly mattered. Every mile of coastland
in the Soullands, every isle, and the Wraithsea stretching beyond the
horizon belonged to Nessin now. With him imprisoning a sliver of my soul,
I felt like his too.
But I wasn’t his, and Nessin wasn’t mine.
He’d made sure of that.
The memories from our honeymoon had since curdled like sour milk
too—a taste I couldn’t rid myself of no matter what I did.
Well, I’d tried almost everything. The ladies in my clan always said the
best way to get over someone was to get under someone new, and the
thought tempted me a little too much at times. Ailerby practiced it with
success, dating every beautiful wraith with a beard and a tan he met in the
backwoods taverns we frequented these days. Basically, anyone who looked
nothing like my brother.
Reminders of Ciel irked me, especially when he had yet to come find
us. Though I thought about him daily, I wondered if he cared or worried
where I was. I also wondered what Nessin told my brother about those last
moments on the shore when I’d slain the king. And two days after—when
he sent me away. Most of all, I wondered what Ciel thought of the king’s
new union.
I hoped he wanted to stab Nessin Drumghoul as much as I did.
I might’ve taken a replacement lover by now if not for the fact that
every time I glanced at another man, I saw him.
From the corner of my eye, dark hair turned white. Warm brown eyes
turned cold and colorless. Hardly anyone rivaled the Daemon King’s
stature. And yet everywhere I went, my mind warped others into elongated
forms and gloved hands, all-black clothes, and smirks.
Too many gods-damned smirks to hold onto the last
